Writings on the interplay of science, history, gender, culture and politics
There is hardly any turf of contemporary life that doesn’t have the imprint of modern science. Using cutting-edge diagnostic tools and mathematics, scientists are offering fascinating, often controversial, insights into aspects of gender, emotions, music, history and crime. This collection of essays tries to throw light on the constantly evolving but always strained contract between science and society.

This annual e-book scavenges tons of data on India’s environment and development. Then, using cutting edge tools processes them into sharp infographics. Each and every dataset here is a stand-alone verdict on a specific subject/ development.
Each and every one is a 360 degree annual assessment. With each dataset, we have tried to tell the complete story, in a secular manner but with lots of data wisdom. Just to put on record, each data that you go through here is preceded by 12 months of careful tracking to not just make sense of the big data involved but also to make a credible statement.

This is the third edition in our Body Burden - State of India's Health series. The first two were on Lifestyle Diseases and Communicable Diseases.
It is a resistance that can undo historical gains made in modern medicine to control diseases. Microbes have become resistant to antibiotics, and Big Pharma has stopped funding research to find new antibiotics.
The magic bullet – that antibiotics were commonly called – have stopped performing miracles. It is estimated that by 2050, 10 million people will die due to antibiotic resistance, most of them from developing countries. India is the top consumer of antibiotics in the world. It is also known for indiscriminate use which leads to resistance.
Other than being used to treat diseases in human beings, antibiotics are also used as growth promoters in animals and in crops. Due to rampant use, it is present everywhere in our environment – water, hospitals, houses and even in the food that we eat. Body Burden: Antibiotic Resistance unravels a public health crisis in India that is going to soon become a nightmare.
